YouTube Personalities For Insight Into Affiliate Marketing

If you’re starting out with affiliate marketing, seek input from the silent army of influencers who don’t have the massive audiences.

They are more accessible and are more apt to respond to your questions or comments online.

The uber-popular personalities are so overwhelmed by inquiries that they probably won’t have time to respond to your comments.

Dan Brock (The Deadbeat Affiliate) His course is the best way to learn Affiliate Marketing.

Tim Francis – He reviews Affiliate Marketing courses and provides good info at his Youtube account

Terry Lamb – This guy is a no nonsense affiliate marketer whos a helper. He also makes a boat load of cash online.

Cole Dockery – He has a good heart and he’s legit. A bit rough around the edges. Does discuss some black hat /grey techniques which I believe are not a good idea. Just listen and absorb it.

Dewan Bayney – Excellent communicator, he’s very slick. No bad language clean. I’m willing to be he’s a close friend of Pat Flynn

Patt Flynn – The 800-pound gorilla of making money online. His podcasts discuss hundreds of techniques and ideas for making money online. There’s more focus on developing an online business (content) that using affiliate marketing.

Think Twice About Hosting All Your Sites Under One Server

It appears that Google is looking at affiliate marketing websites and looking at the Whois records and the server IPs. Google does not like it when all your assets are hosted under the same shared hosting company and all the domain names have the same Whois record. So what do you do?

Get Class C IP Hosting

Purchase Whois Guard so your info is hidden.

Hmmmm.. It looks like the guys over at Warrior Forums seems to think it’s a non issue if your sites are legit. If your into Grey hat or Black hat stuff you’ll get your ass handed to you.

This information was found from Terry Lambs Dan Brock Affiliate Marketing Course testimonial video on youtube.

Dan Brock’s Traffic Boost System WORKS

The Dan Brock traffic boost system WORKS. I created a video and post at scottfichter.com concerning a super event called the “Lancaster Gatling Gun Shoot”. It’s been three days now, and my rank for “Scott Fichter” has already dropped by five positions. I was worried that Dan’s course was outdated because the online class was created in 2015. Now that you know this fact GO FOR IT.

This graph shows proof that the Dan Brock traffic boost system still works after three years. Graph was created on 11/23/17

Scottfichter.com has only TWO posts, that’s it. Can you imagine where it will be after 20 posts?

Websites With Lists of Offers For Folks Like Us (CPA Networks / Affiliate Networks)

Hint: The best affiliate Networks don’t want rookies. The harder it is to join the better the offers. Many make you jump through hoops. MaxBounty will call you and interview you! NOTE: I will provide links to instruction on how to sign up soon. Also, never pay money to join an affiliate network. This is a major red flag if the network asks for credit card info during sign up.

There so many of these sites it’s hard to keep track. If you want access to them all its best that you sign up with OfferVault. There’s purpose is to keep track of all these websites. Bob Prebreza talks about this in this video.

MaxBounty = This is the best one. How to join Hint: Don’t bother trying unless you have tried others first. This is quality network and they will call you before letting you in. They have been around for years.

Why Can’t You Just Sign Up and Go?

We’ll consider what’s going on. These sites write the checks and the hackers know it. All they have to do is spin up a website, create a sales funnel and use stolen credit cards to make the purchases. Then the affiliate network sends them the check. But when the owners of the stolen cards find out that their cards have been stolen they back the charges off and the affiliate network is out the money. THEY DON’T WANT THIS SITUATION. They will ask you about what sites you have, what you have sold in the past and why. They will listen to see if you understand how affiliate marketing works. If they think you’re a chump or that you are lying you’ll never get in.

Beware The Affiliate Cookie Duration

When choosing affiliate listing sites make sure you pay attention to the cookie durations. Your objective is the longest duration possible. For example, if the customer gets sent to the product page, you selling but does not buy they may revisit the page at a later time and buy. If the cookie duration is long and the user is using the same browser and computer, you’ll get credit for the purchase.

So What’s a good Cookie Duration?

Five Days or Less: This is a red flag. Avoid these deals.
One Week: There are quite a few of these.
30 Days: This is best
30 Days and Up: This is even better.

The more time you get, the greater the potential for you to get the commission.

Affiliate Network Sites for Beginners

Don’t Let Your Network Account Manager Tell You That Offer Pay Is the Best Metric

This video by Mr. Opulent explains that when he’s looking for good offers listed at network sites he talks to his account manager that’s assigned to him. He asks for two metrics. 1) What market industry or niche is showing the highest volume (buyers) 2) What are the Earnings Per Click (EPC)? Do not focus on the amount of pay for an offer. What would you prefer? Would you pursue an offer that pays 1 dollar but gets a conversion rate of 100% or would you pursue an offer that pays $100 but converts 1% of the time? This is why EPC is the metric you should always consider.

Limiting Your Liability

When an affiliate network asks for a social security number it’s a bit of a wake-up call. You should consider limiting your liability. If you’re just starting out the best option for you is to set up an LLC. Below summarizes talking points why this is true.

1. You file a single return (like you do as a sole proprietor) but you submit a Schedule “C” and in there you report on your companies income and expenses.
2. Owners or members of the LLC file a partnership and each return a 1065 form. Each person gets a K1 and the income shows up on their personal return.
4. If your business grows you can switch into an S Corporation. S Corporation is designed for folks who make more money due to the tax implications.
5. Limited Liability Corporations are simple to setup and require much less paperwork.
